Ireland Ready to Arrest Netanyahu Following ICC Warrant, Says Prime Minister Simon Harris
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris has confirmed that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Ireland, following the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
In an interview with Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ on Friday, Harris stated, "Yes, absolutely. We are supporters of international courts and we enforce their warrants." This came in response to a question about whether Netanyahu would be arrested should he arrive in Ireland for any reason.
With this statement, Ireland has reaffirmed its commitment to adhering to international law and supporting the actions of the ICC. Netanyahu faces charges related to alleged war crimes, and the arrest warrant marks a significant move by the ICC in holding individuals accountable for violations of international law.
